Recently downloaded it and I'm enjoying their strange variation on pop.

Merriweather Post Pavilion if far superior in my opinion. The melodies are infinitely infectious.

I picked this up yesterday, Ive been meaning to for a while. This is definitely a 'grower', I can tell. These songs are long at a first listen, and don't seem to go anywhere, but today alot of it was stuck in my head after only 1-2 listens, and I found myself craving more. Especially "Fireworks" which I thought was mediocre first time around, and I now love it.

I'd say my favorites on here are:
Peacebone
Winter Wonderland
Fireworks
For Reverend Green

I voted awful and I'm going to probably see them in 10 days! Lol. I've definitely come around on this band. I'm gonna need a few more listens (or just the live show) to do a 180 but yeah...

simplephysics · 10-08-2008, 07:08 PM

Oh man, that sounds awesome. I'd love to see them live.

adidasss · 10-09-2008, 12:19 AM

Yeah, I figure it's gonna be epic...and they might even play some Panda Bear stuff...

Piss Me Off · 10-09-2008, 09:42 AM

Definitely a grower, it's only now i'm coming round to it. For Reverend Green flowing into Fireworks... that's just perfection.

debaserr · 10-09-2008, 01:07 PM

but on the concert, i bet if you get panda bear you get bros. that would kick ass

That's like a 12 minute epic! The beauty of that song is that it's so good you don't even notice that it's so long.

Nothing like that is on Strawberry Jam. The longest track, I believe, is Fireworks, and again it's a fantastic song.

Strawberry Jam is also a flawed masterpiece, thanks to Cuckoo Cuckoo, which REALLY doesn't belong on that album.
